She told you about it through a broken bleeding windpipe.
|
It shook your bones and made your life feel skintight.
|
|
Well, Sidewalk Annie
|
Now your coattails have come undone,
|
Your whisper's a scream now
|
Since you don't speak to anyone.
|
|
The howlin' winds could never care what she liked,
|
Rhythm and Blues or A Stranger In The Night
|
It tore up the trailer with the sounds of a howlin' wolf,
|
The cellar was stone, even the garden was bulletproof.
|
|
Well, Sidewalk Annie
|
Now your coattails have come undone,
|
Your whisper's a scream now
|
Since you don't speak to anyone
|
|
Little girl in your white ice skates,
|
We've seen your face walkin' around the old school gates,
|
With a hand on your hip and the other one on your head,
|
You realized it wasn't gone, but lost instead.
|
|
Sidewalk Annie
|
Now your coattails have come undone.
|
Your whisper's a scream now
|
Since you don't speak to anyone.
|
|
Invested a nickel into the banks of a wishing well
|
And blew out the candles and hoped for somethin' that she could, she
|
could sell.
|
|
Sidewalk Annie
|
Now your coattails have come undone.
|
Your whisper's a scream now
|
Since you don't speak to anyone.
